O’s Notes: Keyboardist, composer, vocalist Ben Sidran teams up with his son Leo Sidran (d, vocals), Billy Peterson (b), and Paul Peterson (g, vocals) to give us his take on life in general. They speak their mind on all sorts of issues, politics and blues. We enjoyed the blues on “Old Wine New Bottle”, “Brand New Music”, and the hip hop vibe on “Are We There Yet?” We also enjoyed the funky beat on “Too Many People”.
